Yes, I know it’s bonkers but I’m actually going to jump out of a plane – with a parachute on – to raise money for James Hopkins Trust.
For those of you not familiar with the charity – it provides respite care for families of sick and disabled children in Gloucestershire.I am very lucky to have three wonderfully healthy children – but many parents are not!
Can you imagine what it must be like to care day and night for a child so poorly that he or she may not even live to adulthood? I can’t imagine it, but I do know how absolutely exhausting looking after a newborn baby is – getting up throughout the night for months on end. Imagine if that went on for years not months!
The James Hopkins Trust allows these parents to take a short break, while a dedicated nurse looks after their child usually in their own home. It costs nearly £300,000 each year to care for these children – help me raise a little bit more by sponsoring me!
